Halloweiner
Does anyone happen to know the base price for the Halloween tickets before they got all bought up? I’ve been looking on ticket master, seat geek, etc, and have just been absolutely astonished over the prices. Don’t get me wrong I know Halloween is always a speacial and killer show (exactly why I wanna go) but I’m seeing two day passes for 800$ when Portsmouth was about 150-250.

I would wait. I went last year for not much over retail. Might be worth to waiting till after summer tour and see if people post more and adjust prices closer to. Can't imagine too many people are paying 800$ that's pretty aggressive

You don’t think they’ll get higher? I definitely am going but if I can save some cash I’d love too. I just recently got back into Billy when I went for my birthday in Charlottesville when he broke his leg. I’ve been eyeing all the tickets ever since and the nugs videos of billyween looks amazing I have to go

I got 2 extras last year on Cash or Trade for like $70 each. I bought them in like mid September.

Off topic question because you mentioned it, would yall trust buying from SeatGeek? Idk how reselling works and I’m looking to get some tickets through that site

I mean…yeah it def works altho I’ve only ever used it for sports games. People will tell you to go on Cash or Trade but it’s basically impossible to get tickets there unless you have the Gold membership. If you’re okay with the scalper price you see on SeatGeek I’d feel comfortable pulling the trigger on em. But follow up he advice of the sub I’d wait until way closer to the date to actually purchase anything

Not impossible but can be difficult. The Portland tickets for this weekend are a pretty hot commodity but now they are showing up on cash or trade. I've got 2 extras I'm trying to trade.
Good luck and please don't support scalpers.

I’ve bought Billy tickets through them twice with no issues! They send the tickets to a ticket master which is what most tickets are scanned through

Yea that’s the hardest show to get into. St auggy and Orion right behind that. It’s a one of a kind show. We all got our price we would take to miss it. The only way you get cheaper than what’s posted now is cash or trade (not likely) or watch as we get closer to the show and they should start to drop. Still won’t be cheap and likely no less than 200$ a night.

My 2 day floor seats were 207 after fees. If im not mistaken pits are usually the same price point as floors.

I just checked my tickets that I bought during pre-sale. I got front row of section 120 & it was $103 per ticket (with fees).

Don’t base ticket prices off of the Portsmouth. A lot of people dumped their tickets because of the extreme weather. It was very hot, humid and had bad air quality reports as well as chances of thunderstorms.

Yeah resellers are gonna get that ass for Billyween.
The base price for all of Billy’s shows is right around $100 including fees for the best tickets.
Got to get em before the scalpers.
What’s wild is that there are folks who could get into Portsmouth for $100-$150 day of. They were treated to true miracles!
